The ‘medrese’ (school), seen from the South. It was last repaired in 1952-1971, and then became a library.
On the left of the picture: the ‘dershane’ (classroom) measuring some 8 x 8 m. Adjacent to it: the eastern wing with 3 + 5 = 8 small residence rooms for the students. Each room has a hearth and a chimney. The sultan Beyazıt mosque lies to the right.
